Here, the communion among river and poet and reader is palpable: at the fisherman's table, \" the platter is passed from hand to hand, \/ each tongue tasting the river \/ in the salmon's flesh.\" This fisherman's river-poems carry what the Umpqua carries, \"the wonderment of living things.\" -Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaybreak on the Water\u003c\/em\u003e is a vivid and authentic reminiscence of a rugged, playful, deliberate and reflective life among the wild woods and waterways of Oregon's Umpqua valley. Lark's warmly told and deftly detailed narratives provide a natural and cultural history that will entertain and edify generations of readers.
